Marg Consulting can help you with obtaining a visitor's visa to come to New Zealand or in extending your current visitor visa whilst within New Zealand.

You may also qualify for a visitor visa as a business visitor to explore your options in New Zealand or as a guardian of students under the age of 17.
A visitor visa does not allow you to work or study in New Zealand. In some cases you may be able to study, however the course duration must be less than 14 weeks.

There are various ways in which one can obtain a work visa in New Zealand.
• If you have an offer of employment from a New Zealand employer.
• If you are a partner of a New Zealand resident or citizen.
• If you have completed a NZ qualification upon successful completion of the course you maybe eligible for an open work visa
• If you decide to start your business in New Zealand.
• If you are in New Zealand for business for a specific purpose

The requirements under each category differ however, there are some common requirements like health and character that one has to satisfy in order to be granted a work visa in New Zealand.
In all cases a person must be able to satisfy Immigration New Zealand that he/she is healthy and will not be a burden on the New Zealand health system. Also that the applicant is conviction free.
There are specific forms that are required to be completed by every applicant depending upon the duration of the visa applied for, for medicals. They also usually have to provide a police clearance certificate from their country of origin and may have to provide police clearances from any other countries if they have lived in that country for 12 months or more in the past 10 years.

As the name suggests this category is meant for people who possess particular skills that are required in New Zealand. Points are awarded to an applicant based on his age, qualifications, work experience, offer of skilled employment in New Zealand, family ties in New Zealand etc.
Based on the points the first step in this process is to complete and submit an online form – Expression of Interest.
Depending upon the score the application form then may or may not get selected and Immigration New Zealand then invites to you apply for residence.
This category is mainly for all those people who are well qualified and experienced in their field and their skills are required in New Zealand.
